Summary Term Sheet

This Information Statement is being furnished to the Shareholders of AeroGrow International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in connection with the prior approval by our Board of Directors, and the approval by written consent of a majority of our Shareholders, for the Shareholder Action. The terms "we," "our," and the "Company" in this Information Statement refer to AeroGrow International, Inc. References to "you" are to the Shareholders of AeroGrow International, Inc.

This section contains a summary of the material features of the Transaction Documents and other matters approved by our Majority Shareholders. This summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you to understand the Shareholder Action fully. We strongly encourage you to read carefully the entire Information Statement. We have included the salient agreements as Appendices I and II. This summary includes page references in parentheses to direct you to more complete descriptions of the topics presented in this summary.

●

AeroGrow experienced sluggish sales during the economic recession during the years 2008 through 2009. Our disappointing results of operations contributed to a significant shortage of working capital. To meet our working capital requirements, in 2009 we sold an aggregate of 7,586 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to raise $6,684,536 in new equity. (14, 30)

●

In early 2010, we implemented a new marketing strategy that focused our selling efforts on direct to consumer channels. To provide working capital to support the new marketing program and holiday season operating requirements, in mid-2010 we raised $7.02 million through the sale of 8% Convertible Debentures through GVC Capital, LLC, as Placement Agent. In late 2010 we raised an additional $1.5 million through the sale of 15% Convertible Notes, also through GVC Capital, LLC, as Placement Agent. While the execution of our new strategy resulted in modest improvement in performance during the fourth calendar quarter of 2010, we were left with more than $10 million in short and medium term, high interest debt that impaired our ability to continue as a going concern. (14, 36, 41)

●

During 2010, we were introduced to the principals of Cyrano Partners, LLC, (“Cyrano”) which specializes in multi-level marketing (“MLM”). As a result of extensive discussions, we reached agreements in principle to form a joint venture with Cyrano to expand distribution of our products into the MLM sales channel, and if that effort proves successful, to transition our company into one that focuses primarily on developing the MLM sales channel. (41)

●

Effective April 12, 2011, we entered into a Transaction Agreement with Cyrano and AG Worldwide, LLC, (“AG Worldwide”), an entity formed by Cyrano to constitute the joint venture between AeroGrow and Cyrano, which is attached as Appendix I hereto. The Transaction Agreement is an omnibus agreement that outlines the various documents and agreements which will, when consummated, collectively constitute the joint venture (collectively the “Transaction Documents”). The Cyrano Agreements provide for the arrangements that follow below, which are the subject matter of the Shareholder Action. (36)

Table of Contents

●	AeroGrow and Cyrano Partners, LLC will form a joint venture from the existing entity formed by Cyrano called AG Worldwide, LLC (the “AG Worldwide Transaction”). The closing of the joint venture will be subject to the following contingencies (“Conditions Precedent”): (36)

(i)	the Company must receive approval from its secured creditors to consummate the AG Worldwide Transaction, which includes a Majority in Interest of holders of our 8% convertible notes, a Majority in Interest of our 15% convertible notes, and the consent of First Western Trust Bank;

(ii)	the Company must receive approvals from its Series A Convertible Preferred shareholders and from its Common shareholders to consummate the AG Worldwide Transaction, which condition is satisfied by the Shareholder Actions;

(iii)

a definitive Schedule 14C Information Statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to the Company’s shareholders, and

(iv)	AG Worldwide must have obtained at least $3 million in equity capital (the “Capital Raise”).

●

The Operating Agreement for AG Worldwide will define the relative rights, responsibilities and entitlements of AeroGrow and Cyrano in the joint venture. The terms of the Operating Agreement have been agreed upon, subject to modifications that may be agreed between the parties prior to execution. The Operating Agreement will be executed at such time as all of the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied. The terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement can be summarized as follows: (37)

(i)	AeroGrow and Cyrano will have equal ownership percentages of AG Worldwide and will be subject to equal dilution from the equity capital to be raised by AG Worldwide.

(ii)

Cyrano will contribute its MLM expertise, relationships, business plan for the AG Worldwide initiative, and a proprietary distributor compensation plan. The principals of Cyrano have agreed to a three-year exclusivity period during which they will devote substantially all of their time and efforts to the development of the AG Worldwide distributor network and to sales of AeroGrow products. Following the exclusivity period, if there are additional non-competitive MLM opportunities that the Cyrano principals wish to pursue and overlay onto the downline network developed for AG Worldwide, then the joint venture company will have a right of first offer to participate in providing the capital necessary to pursue such opportunities.

(iii)

AeroGrow will transfer substantially all of its assets to the joint venture, including inventory, fixed assets, and intangibles. Excluded assets will include cash, accounts receivable and deposits. AeroGrow will also contribute its management expertise, product knowledge, and supply chain relationships. AeroGrow will assign its rights relating to key contracts (leases, for example) and the joint venture will assume the related liabilities. To the extent there are accounts payable related to inventory in transit, the joint venture will also assume these liabilities. Otherwise, AeroGrow will retain its existing liabilities.

Table of Contents

●	In return for transferring its assets and providing management, employees and business infrastructure, AeroGrow will receive a $5.0 million secured promissory note from the joint venture. The note will contain the following terms and conditions: (37)

(i)	Term: Three years, with an option to extend for an additional year if the principal balance on the note has been reduced to at least $2.5 million.

(ii)	Interest Rate: 4.5% per annum.

(iii)

Amortization Schedule: Until the earlier of six months after the closing of the joint venture transaction or December 31, 2011, 5% of the joint venture’s gross revenue will be remitted to AeroGrow on a monthly basis to pay accrued interest and principal. After that time, the percent of revenue remitted to AeroGrow will increase to 10% until such time as the note has been repaid in full. If the joint venture’s cash balance drops below $1 million, then payments to AeroGrow will be suspended until such time as the cash balance again exceeds $1 million, with a claw-back provision to recover payments missed while the cash balance is below the floor amount.

(iv)	Events of Default: Failure to remit payments as provided above (not cured within 15 business days); cross-default to failure to pay other indebtedness when due; standard provisions relating to bankruptcy/insolvency of the joint venture.

(v)	Default Remedies: Acceleration, exercise of rights to collateral.

(vi)	Security: Assets transferred to the joint venture by AeroGrow, with a provision that the amount of inventory included in the collateral will be fixed at the amount initially contributed by AeroGrow.

●	No distributions to partners, other than tax distributions, will be allowed until the note has been paid in full. (38)

●

AeroGrow will also have a special distribution right that will provide $1.0 million in disproportionate distributions relative to its ownership percentage. This special distribution right will be paid in accordance with a formula commencing after the secured promissory note due to AeroGrow has been repaid in full. (38)

●	Cyrano will have a four-year call option to purchase one-half of AeroGrow’s interest in the joint venture for $12 million. This amount is fixed, regardless of AeroGrow’s ownership percentage at the time the option is exercised. (38)

●

After the joint venture transaction is closed, AG Worldwide will operate the new MLM initiative as well as the existing direct response, retail and international businesses of AeroGrow. AeroGrow International, Inc. will become a holding company for its investment in the joint venture, and the related note. Existing obligations of the holding company will be serviced from cash remitted by the joint venture. (36)

●	The AG Worldwide Operating Agreement anticipates that the executive management team of AG Worldwide will consist of the following individuals, subject to the terms of employment being agreed and finalized for each of the prospective executives: (38)

Table of Contents

(i)	Melyn Campbell, Chairman & CEO

(ii)	Mike Wolfe, President & COO

(iii)

Greg Clarke, CFO

(iv)	Jack Peterson, Vice President

●

AG Worldwide will be governed by a Board of Managers. Cyrano and AeroGrow will each name three Managers. The remaining Manager will be named by the investors providing the Capital Raise. Board actions will be decided by a simple majority, with the exception of the admission of additional member partners, and early termination of the three-year Cyrano exclusivity period, each of which will require a unanimous vote of the Managers. In addition, once the joint venture revenue reaches $18 million on a trailing twelve month basis, the Managers appointed by Cyrano will have the sole authority to determine if, how, and when to phase-out the non-MLM business activities of the joint venture. (39)

●

To bridge the time needed to satisfy the Conditions Precedent, AeroGrow and Cyrano have entered into a Distributor and License Agreement (attached as Appendix II hereto) with AG Worldwide pursuant to which AeroGrow appointed AG Worldwide a distributor of AeroGrow products and granted AG Worldwide a license to use AeroGrow’s patents and patents pending, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, logos and other intellectual property. The Distributor and License Agreement also defines the obligations of each party, the manner in which the parties will interact, and the financial arrangement between the parties related to sales and other transactions. The Distributor and License Agreement will be terminated in the event the Capital Raise is not finalized on or before the later of June 30, 2011, or 60 days after the earlier of July 31, 2011 or the date AeroGrow satisfies the shareholder and creditor consent Conditions Precedent. (40)

Summary Information In Question And Answer Format

The following information, in question and answer format, summarizes many of the material terms of the Company's proposed Shareholder Action. For a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Shareholder Action, you are advised to carefully read this entire Information Statement and the other documents referred to herein.

Why am I receiving these materials?

We are required to deliver this Information Statement to all holders of our voting stock on the record date, April 28, 2011, to inform them that on April 28, 2011 the “Majority Stockholders” (as defined below) took certain actions by written consent, as permitted under our Bylaws and Nevada law, that would otherwise require a meeting of stockholders.

This Information Statement is being sent to you because you are a holder of our common stock or Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of the record date. As of the record date, 19,244,160 shares of our common stock and 7,576 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding.

We will begin mailing this Information Statement, on or about May 11, 2011.

We have requested that banks, brokerage firms and other nominees who hold common stock on behalf of the owners of the common stock (such stock is often referred to as being held in “street name”) as of the close of the record date forward these materials to those beneficial owners. We have agreed to pay the reasonable expenses of the banks, brokerage firms and other nominees for forwarding these materials.

What actions did the Majority Stockholders of the voting stock approve or authorize?

The majority holders of our Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock approved the following actions:

What Vote Is Required To Approve The Shareholder Action?

Approval of the Shareholder Action requires the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

Table of Contents

What Constitutes A Majority Of The Company's Outstanding Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock?

On April 18, 2011, the Company had 19,244,160 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 7,576 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Including the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted to common shares basis, 31,533,208 constitutes a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 3,789 constitutes a majority of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Who Voted In Favor Of The Shareholder Action?

Shareholders owning an aggregate of 1,888,325 shares of our common stock and shareholders owning an aggregate of 5,817 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock representing an aggregate of 34,205,018 shares of common stock on an as converted basis voted in favor of the Shareholder Action. Those shares combined represent 54.24% of the voting power of common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. Those shareholders consisted of Jack J. Walker and related parties, Lazarus Investment Partners LLLP, Michael S. Barish, Joyce F. Barish, H. Leigh Severance and related parties, the estate of Jervis B. Perkins, J. Michael Wolfe, Thomas K. Cagney, H. MacGregor Clarke, John K. Thompson, Jerome P. Lauffenburger, Alliance Advisors, LLC, and Jeffrey M. Brainard. Such shareholders shall be referred to as the" Majority Shareholders".

Will The Shareholders That Voted In Favor Of The Shareholder Action Have Any Special Interest in the Shareholder Action?

Yes. Under the terms of the AG Worldwide Operating Agreement, it is anticipated that J. Michael Wolfe and H. MacGregor Clarke will serve as executive officers of AG Worldwide. However, the proposed terms of employment for Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Clarke have not been finalized and they have not agreed to serve in these capacities for AG Worldwide. There can be no assurances given that they will ultimately take on these responsibilities at AG Worldwide. In addition, Jack J. Walker, Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Clarke may serve as the Managers of AG Worldwide designated by AeroGrow.

Why Isn't The Company Holding A Shareholders Meeting To Vote On The Proposed Shareholder Action?

In order to lawfully close on the proposed Shareholder Action, Nevada law requires that a majority of shares of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock vote in favor of the proposed Shareholder Action. The Shareholders voting in favor of the proposed Shareholder Action represent 54.24% of the voting power of Common Stock outstanding and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis and 76.78% of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, voting separately as a class. Therefore, management concluded that because approving a transaction by the written consent of Shareholders can be faster than distributing a notice of meeting and proxy statement, and conducting a Shareholders meeting, and in light of the fact that Company management wanted to expedite the closing of the proposed Shareholder Action, management and the Board of Directors decided not to conduct a meeting of Shareholders. Instead, Shareholders owning a majority of the voting power of Common Stock outstanding and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis, and a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding signed a written consent approving the Shareholder Action and the transactions contemplated thereby.

What Will Happen To The Company After The Shareholder Action?

Following the Shareholder Action, the Company will serve as a holding company for the joint venture interest in AG Worldwide and the note receivable from AG Worldwide that we will acquire in exchange for our assets. The Company will cease manufacturing and selling its products directly; but, will indirectly continue its business, subject to a change in strategic plan, through AG Worldwide.

Table of Contents

What Rights Do Shareholders Have To Dissent From The Shareholder Action?

Company Shareholders do not have dissenters’ rights or the right to seek the appraisal of their shares under Nevada law.

What Are The Income Tax Consequences Of The Shareholder Action?

There will be no federal or state income tax consequences to our shareholders as a result of the Shareholder Action.

Why is the Company proposing to sell its assets into the AG Worldwide joint venture?

While we believe there exists a viable commercial market for our products, it appears that penetrating the market on a sustained basis will require more capital than we are likely to be able to raise into the existing AeroGrow entity. In addition, at our current operating levels it is unlikely that we will be able to repay the more than $10 million in short and medium term, high interest debt we have incurred over the past 24 months. Utilizing the joint venture structure is intended to enable us to raise the capital necessary to support our current operating businesses and the new MLM initiative, and provide a source of cash flow with which AeroGrow can satisfy its existing obligations. Finally, the MLM distribution channel represents a high-growth opportunity for the sales of AeroGrow products, and the Cyrano group has a successful history of developing multi-level marketing strategies for new products in the MLM distribution channel.

Will any of the proceeds from the sale of the Company’s assets to AG Worldwide be distributed to the Company’s shareholders?

No. The proceeds to be received by the Company from the sale of the assets to AG Worldwide will consist of (i) the $5.0 million note, (ii) a $1.0 million preferred member distribution right, and (iii) future distributions of net cash flow from AG Worldwide, the amount and timing of which cannot be predicted. Initial and future sale proceeds and distributions from AG Worldwide will first be used to repay the Company’s secured and unsecured debt and pay continuing operating costs. It is therefore unlikely that any funds will be available for payment of a dividend to our shareholders until such time as the Company’s creditors have been repaid.

Prior Stockholder Approval

Our ability to undertake the Shareholder Action without a meeting of our Shareholders is authorized by Section 78.320(2) of the Nevada Revised Statutes. That section generally provides that a Nevada corporation may substitute for action on a matter by its Shareholders at a meeting the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock holding at least the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the matter are present and voted. In accordance with this provision, we obtained the written consent of the Majority Shareholders to the Shareholder Action. As a result of the action of the Majority Shareholders, we are not soliciting proxies, and there will be no further stockholder action on the Shareholder Action.

Holders of record of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to notice of the action taken by written consent approving the Shareholder Action.

Under Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of Common Stock outstanding and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis as of the close of business on the Record Date, was required to approve the Shareholder Action. Each holder of Common Stock was entitled to one vote on each of the foregoing matters, for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder. Each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into. Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had the right to approve the Shareholder Action voting separately as a class. As of April 28, 2011, there were outstanding 19,244,160 shares of Common Stock and 7,576 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, representing a total of 19,244,160 votes of Common Stock and 43,822,254 votes of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of that date, the Majority Shareholders held 1,888,325 shares of Common Stock and 5,817 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and were entitled to cast a total of 34,205,018 votes, or 54.24% of the total votes entitled to be cast by all holders of our Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis, and a total of 5,817 votes, or 76.78% of the total votes entitled to be cast by all holders of our Series A Preferred Convertible Stock.

The action by written consent approving the Shareholder Action was executed effective on April 28, 2011.

No Dissenters' Rights

In accordance with the Nevada General Corporation Law, our Shareholders do not have dissenters' or appraisal rights in connection with the Shareholder Action.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Shareholder Action will not result in any impact on our Shareholders for federal and state income tax purposes.

Government Approvals

Except for compliance with the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this Information Statement and of the Nevada Revised Statutes in connection with the Shareholder Action, we are not required to comply with any federal or state regulatory requirements, and no federal or state regulatory approvals are required in connection with the Shareholder Action.

Table of Contents

Interests of Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

The Majority Shareholders that approved the Transaction Documents do not have a financial interest in the Transaction or the Transaction Documents that are materially different than our other shareholders, except that the AG Worldwide Operating Agreement anticipates that J. Michael Wolfe and H. MacGregor Clarke, our President and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, will serve as executive officers and Managers of AG Worldwide. However, the proposed terms of employment for Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Clarke for serving as executives of AG Worldwide have not been finalized. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Clarke have not agreed to assume the roles noted above, and there can be no assurances given that they will join the executive management team of AG Worldwide. In addition, Jack J. Walker, Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Clarke may serve as the Managers of AG Worldwide designated by AeroGrow.

SELECTED FINANCIAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

The following is selected historical financial and pro forma financial data of AeroGrow. The AeroGrow data includes information as of and for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 through 2010 and as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. The data has been derived from both audited and unaudited historical financial statements incorporated by reference into this Information Statement or from other reports filed by AeroGrow with the SEC and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and their related notes.

AG Worldwide was recently formed by Cyrano but as of the date of this Information Statement, AG Worldwide had no assets and no operations prior to April 22, 2011. As a result, we have omitted historical financial data related to AG Worldwide.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

The following tables present, as at the dates and for the periods indicated, selected unaudited pro forma condensed financial information and explanatory notes, and include the impact of the AG Worldwide Transaction on AeroGrow’s historical financial positions and results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 assumes the merger was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2010 and the nine months ended December 31, 2010 give effect to the AG Worldwide Transaction as if it had been completed on April 1, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial data of AeroGrow has been prepared assuming the transaction with AG Worldwide had been consummated as at the dates and for the periods indicated. Because the terms of the proposed joint venture transaction are not yet final and because AG Worldwide has no operating history prior to April 22, 2011, the following assumptions have been used to prepare the pro forma financial data: (i) AeroGrow has a 35% equity interest in AG Worldwide, (ii) AeroGrow uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the joint venture, (iii) AeroGrow receives a $5 million note and a $1 million special distribution right for transferring substantially all of its assets to AG Worldwide, (iv) AeroGrow has no operations other than its administrative obligations as a reporting company and is a holding company for its interests in AG Worldwide, (v) AeroGrow retains all liabilities, and (vi) AG Worldwide’s results during the pro forma periods reflect only the existing direct response, retail, and international businesses of AeroGrow, but do not include any sales or operating results relating to the start-up MLM business initiative.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to indicate the financial results of AeroGrow had the AG Worldwide Transaction actually been consummated at the beginning of the period presented. It does not represent the impact of possible business model changes or potential changes to asset valuations due to changes in market conditions. In addition, it does not include any assumptions regarding the impact of potential sales into the MLM distribution channel.

BUSINESS OF AG WORLDWIDE

The following is a description of the proposed business of AG Worldwide. It is anticipated that there will be no material change in the product offering of AeroGrow through AG Worldwide. Nor do we anticipate any material changes in our sources of supply. The principal difference will be in the mode and manner of our distribution channels utilizing the MLM strategies of our joint venture partner, Cyrano, and its distribution arrangements.

As AG Worldwide has no historical operations, much of our plan of operation is subject to change depending upon facts and circumstances as they develop.

General

AG Worldwide, LLC was formed on March 24, 2011. It is currently a single-member LLC, with its single member being Cyrano Partners, LLC. From its inception through April 21, 2011, AG Worldwide was inactive. Beginning on April 22, 2011, AG Worldwide began sales of AeroGardens and related products pursuant to a Distributor and License Agreement it entered into with AeroGrow on April 12, 2011 (the “License Agreement”). Following the consummation of the transactions anticipated by the Shareholder Action (the “Joint Venture Transaction”), AG Worldwide will become a joint venture between AeroGrow, Cyrano Partners, LLC and third party investors.

Distribution

AG Worldwide markets and sells its products through a direct sales network made up of independent, commissioned individuals who act as distributors for AG Worldwide products. AG Worldwide’s distributor commission plan is designed to encourage its distributors to expand their sales of AG Worldwide products using person-to-person selling methods, and to enroll new distributors for AG Worldwide. The independent distributors are charged a fee to join the AG Worldwide distributor network and receive various materials and services from AG Worldwide to assist them in their selling efforts.

Distributors earn commissions on their personal sales activity, as well as on the sales of other distributors who they have personally enrolled, or who are affiliated with them under the terms and conditions of the AG Worldwide commission plan.

Products and Product Development

AG Worldwide offers the full line of AeroGrow-branded products, including AeroGardens, seed kits, grow bulbs, and other accessories. It is anticipated that AG Worldwide will develop new AeroGardens, seed kits and accessory items to broaden its product line and enhance its appeal to distributors and to consumers.

Operations and Manufacturing

Under the terms of the License Agreement, AeroGrow provides all warehousing, fulfillment, and administrative services necessary for AG Worldwide to market, sell and distribute its products. This will continue until the closing of the Joint Venture Transaction, at which time AeroGrow will transfer substantially all of its assets, its management, and employees to AG Worldwide and AG Worldwide will perform these functions independently of AeroGrow.

Table of Contents

AeroGardens sold by AG Worldwide are manufactured by third-party contract manufacturers based in China, as are grow bulbs and many of the accessory items offered for sale. Seed kits are currently manufactured in the U.S. by AeroGrow, but after the consummation of the Joint Venture Transaction, AG Worldwide will take on the manufacturing of seed kits, also in the U.S.

Competition

Aeroponic and hydroponic technologies have historically been limited to ardent hobbyists and commercial growing facilities. AeroGardens and related products are innovative in that they offer a simple dirt-free indoor growing system for the mass consumer market.

Typical hydroponic manufacturers offer a range of equipment and accessories through distributors or small independent “hydro-shops” in a trade-oriented manner similar to plumbing or electrical suppliers. Purchasers typically mix and match equipment from various suppliers in an “a la carte” fashion to individually customize a large system that they then assemble on their premises. Generally these products are more expensive than the AeroGrow line of products.

The simplified and complete AeroGrow indoor gardening products and current and planned methods of distribution offer significant benefits from these traditional hydroponic industry practices. Since the AeroGarden was first launched in 2006, a kitchen design firm introduced a competitive indoor growing system into the market, to what appears to be very limited success. In AeroGrow’s in-house laboratory tests, these systems performed at levels far below the AeroGarden system in terms of germination success, longevity, speed-of-growth and overall yields.

However, we believe a large market exists for products like ours and there are other companies that are better funded and have greater experience in producing hydroponic products in commercial markets, or that have been more successful in manufacturing or selling consumer product or soil-based gardening products.

As a direct selling company, AG Worldwide competes with other direct selling organizations to attract new distributors. In many cases, these direct selling competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and greater financial resources. AG Worldwide competes for new direct selling distributors on the strength of its distributor leadership, product offerings, distributor commission plan, management, and the overall business opportunity offered to distributors.

Intellectual Property

AG Worldwide currently licenses the intellectual property owned by AeroGrow, including its patents and patents pending, brand names, trademarks, trade secrets and other similar items. In addition, AG Worldwide’s intellectual property includes expertise, know-how and trade secrets related to operating in the direct selling industry. As part of the Joint Venture Transaction, AeroGrow will transfer ownership of its intellectual property to AG Worldwide.

Government Regulation

As a direct selling company, AG Worldwide is subject to a number of federal and state regulations administered by the Federal Trade Commission and various state agencies in the United States, directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive marketing schemes by ensuring that product sales are made to consumers of the products and that compensation, recognition, and advancement within the distributor network are based on the sale of products rather than investment in the organization or other non-sales-related criteria. These regulatory requirements do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based. AG Worldwide believes its marketing program complies with applicable federal and state laws and regulations; however, a governmental agency or court could determine that it has failed to meet these requirements in a particular case. Such an adverse determination could require AG Worldwide to make modifications to its marketing program, potentially increasing its operating expenses. The negative publicity associated with such an adverse determination could also reduce distributor and end user demand for AG Worldwide’s products.

Table of Contents

Legislative or regulatory changes in one or more of AG Worldwide’s present or future markets could lead to a determination that its marketing system does not comply with applicable laws or regulations and could result in the prohibition of the AG Worldwide marketing system. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in the imposition of legal fines and/or penalties.

Employees

As of April 28, 2011, AG Worldwide had one full time employee. Subsequent to the Joint Venture Transaction, it is anticipated that AG Worldwide will employ individuals who are currently employed by AeroGrow.

RISK FACTORS

Risk Factors Related to AeroGrow Historical Operations

As the essential elements of AeroGrow’s historical operations will remain intact following the consummation of the Transaction with AG Worldwide, the risks historically associated with our business will remain applicable in most material respects. Those risk factors include:

Risks Related to our Business, Products and Markets

Current economic conditions and in the global economy generally, including ongoing disruptions in the debt and equity capital markets, may adversely affect our business and results of operations, and our ability to obtain financing.

The global economic environment is currently volatile and uncertain, and the future economic environment may continue to be less favorable than that of recent years. The retail industry has experienced and may continue to experience significant downturns in connection with, or in anticipation of, declines in general economic conditions. The current economic environment has been characterized by higher unemployment, lower family income, lower corporate earnings, lower business investment and lower consumer spending, leading to lowered demand for products and resulting in fewer customers visiting, and customers spending less, which could adversely affect our revenues. In addition, further declines in consumer and commercial spending may drive us and our competitors to reduce pricing, which would have a negative impact on our gross profit. We are unable to predict the timing, duration, and severity of any disruptions in debt and equity capital markets and adverse economic conditions in the United States and other countries, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, in part because we are dependent upon customer behavior and the impact on consumer spending that market disruptions may have.

The global stock and credit markets have recently experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective and outstanding debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings materially less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of financing. This volatility and illiquidity has negatively affected a broad range of mortgage and asset-backed and other fixed income securities. As a result, the market for fixed income securities has experienced decreased liquidity, increased price volatility, credit downgrade events, and increased defaults. Global equity markets have also been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil, with issuers exposed to the credit markets particularly affected. These factors and the continuing market disruption have an adverse effect on us, in part because we, like many companies, from time to time may need to raise capital in debt and equity capital markets including in the asset-backed securities markets.

In addition, continued uncertainty in the stock and credit markets may negatively affect our ability to access additional short-term and long-term financing, including future securitization transactions, on reasonable terms or at all, which would negatively impact our liquidity and financial condition. In addition, if one or more of the financial institutions that support our future credit facilities fails, we may not be able to find a replacement, which would negatively impact our ability to borrow under the credit facilities. These disruptions in the financial markets also may adversely affect our credit rating and the market value of our common stock. If the current pressures on credit continue or worsen, we may not be able to refinance, if necessary, our outstanding debt when due, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If our operating results worsen significantly and our cash flow or capital resources prove inadequate, or if interest rates increase significantly, we could face liquidity problems that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

We have incurred substantial losses since inception and may never achieve profitability.

Since we commenced operations in 2002, and through December 31, 2010, we incurred substantial losses, including a net loss of $5,298,365 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2010. The future success of our business will depend on our ability to profitably expand sales and distribution of our AeroGarden indoor garden systems, seed kits and accessory products to consumers, and develop new product extensions and applications.

We are subject to many of the risks common to developing enterprises, including undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to financial and other resources, and insufficient revenue to be self-sustaining. There is no assurance that we will ever attain profitability.

A worsening of the United States economy could materially adversely affect our business.

The success of our business operations depends significantly on consumer confidence and spending, which have deteriorated as a result of the worldwide economic downturn. This economic downturn and decrease in consumer spending adversely impacted our revenue, and it may continue to adversely impact our revenue, ability to market our products, build customer loyalty, or otherwise implement our business strategy. If the current economic situation persists, or deteriorates significantly, our business could be negatively impacted. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our sales decreased 42.3% year-over year, from $14.2 million to $8.2 million, primarily reflecting our strategic decision to de-emphasize sales to retailers, as well as a reduction in our media and advertising spending.

We currently sell to a small number of retailers in the United States and Canada. We will be transitioning away from this distribution channel in the United Sates, and unless our new MLM strategy is successful, this change in channel strategy could have a material adverse impact on our business.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and the nine month period ended December 31, 2010, approximately 40.1% and 22.5%, respectively, of our net sales were to retailer customers. Our transition to an MLM marketing platform will result in our discontinuing sales to many of these customers, and unless the MLM distribution is successful, this change could have a material adverse impact on our business and our financial results.

Our future depends on the success of our indoor garden systems, seed kits and accessory products. We do not know if our indoor garden systems, seed kits and accessory products will generate consumer acceptance on a broader scale.

We have introduced our indoor garden systems and seed kits as new products to consumer markets unfamiliar with their use and benefits. Although we believe that we have penetrated only a small portion of the potential market for our products, we cannot be certain that our products will generate widespread consumer acceptance. If consumers do not purchase our products in sufficient numbers, we will not be profitable.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to recruit, train and retain key personnel necessary to operate our business, our ability to successfully manage our business and develop and market our products may be harmed.

To maintain our business position, we will need to attract, retain, and motivate highly skilled design, development, management, accounting, sales, merchandising, marketing, and customer service personnel. Competition for many of these types of personnel can be intense, depending on general economic conditions, alternative employment options, and job location. As a result, we may be unable to successfully attract or retain qualified personnel. Additionally, any of our officers or employees can terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of any key employee, or our inability to attract or retain other qualified employees, could harm our business and results of operations.

If we are unable to recruit, train and retain a network of independent distributors to market and sell our products, we may not be able to increase our revenue to a level sufficient to cover our operating costs.

AG Worldwide will pursue the sales of AeroGrow products in the MLM sales channel. Success in this channel is highly dependent on attracting a large network of independent distributors to market and sell products. If the business opportunity we offer to these distributors is not competitive with other options available to them, we may not be able to develop a network of sufficient scale to generate the revenue we need to become profitable.

As a result of the economic downturn, decline in consumer spending and the consequent impact on the sales of our products, we restructured our operations and implemented a substantial workforce reduction. These actions could adversely impact the morale and performance of our remaining employees and our ability to hire new personnel.

Our business was adversely impacted by the deterioration in the global economy and the consequent impact on our various channels of distribution. We restructured our business operations in order to re-size our overhead costs and streamline our distribution, fulfillment, and manufacturing operations. This resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of our full-time employees. These restructuring actions and headcount reductions could have unintended impacts on our remaining employees, could lead to a decline in employee morale, and could lead to a loss of additional personnel over and above the level desired by the Company. In the event of such employee attrition, we may not be able to replace the lost personnel on a timely basis, or with individuals having the same level of skills. In either case, our operations and our financial performance could be adversely impacted.

Our marketing strategies may not be successful, which would adversely affect our future revenue and profitability.

Our future revenue and profitability depend on the successful marketing of our indoor garden systems. We cannot give assurance that consumers will continue to be interested in purchasing our products. We currently use direct consumer marketing, including television commercials, infomercials, catalogue, magazine and newspaper advertising, and the Internet. In addition, we collaborate with our retailer customers to market our products to consumers. Going forward, we will also be selling our products into the MLM sales channel through independent distributors. If our marketing strategies fail to attract customers or distributors, our product sales will not produce future revenue sufficient to meet our operating expenses or fund our future operations.

Table of Contents

Our current or future manufacturers could fail to fulfill our orders for indoor garden systems, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, and could potentially cause us to lose our market.

We currently depend on three contract manufacturers in China to produce our indoor garden systems. These manufacturers could fail to produce the indoor garden system to our specifications or in a workmanlike manner and may not deliver the systems on a timely basis. Our manufacturers must also obtain inventories of the necessary parts and tools for production. We own the tools and dies used by our manufacturers. Our manufacturers operate in China and may be subject to business risks that fall outside our control, including but not limited to, political, currency, and regulatory risks, each of which may affect the manufacturer’s ability to fulfill our orders for indoor garden systems. In addition, weather or natural disasters in China could disrupt our supply of product. Any change in manufacturers could disrupt our ability to fulfill orders for indoor garden systems. Any change in manufacturers could disrupt our business due to delays in finding a new manufacturer, providing specifications, and testing initial production.

Our revenue and level of business activity are highly seasonal, requiring us to staff our operations, incur overhead and marketing costs, purchase and manufacture inventory, and incur other operating costs in advance of having firm customer orders for our products. A material variance in actual orders relative to anticipated orders could have an adverse impact on our business.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, approximately 56% of our total net sales occurred during the last four calendar months (September – December). For the twelve calendar months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 56% of our total net sales occurred during four calendar months. Going forward, the seasonality of AG Worldwide may be more evenly balanced throughout the year, but we cannot know that with certainty at this time given the lack of an operating history for AG Worldwide. We must therefore estimate sales in advance of the anticipated peak months and operate our business during the balance of the year in such a way as to insure that we can meet the demand for our products during the peak months. This requires us to incur significant operating, marketing, and overhead expenses, and to utilize cash and other capital resources to invest in inventory in advance of having certainty as to the ultimate level of demand for our product during the peak months. Significant variations in actual demand for our products during the peak months relative to our forecast could result in our sales being limited by lack of product, our not achieving a sufficient level of sales to cover expenses incurred throughout the balance of the year, or in our having excess inventory to liquidate at potentially lower margins. In any of these cases, there could be a material adverse impact on our financial performance.

We will sell our products at the same price levels in our direct response and MLM channels of distribution. This will require increasing the prices at which we sell products in the direct response channels. We do not know the impact that these price increases will have on demand for our products in these channels and there could be a material decline in our sales to customers in these channels.

Our pricing strategy for the MLM channel involves higher product prices for most AeroGrow products than have historically been offered to consumers through our direct response channel. We plan to match these higher prices in our direct response channel. We do not have sufficient information regarding the potential price sensitivity of demand for our products in the direct response channels to be able to determine with any certainty the demand for our products at the new higher prices. It is possible that there will be a material decline in our sales into these channels because of the higher selling prices. Such a decline could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We are highly reliant upon a single distribution and manufacturing facility. Any material disruption to the operation of this facility could adversely affect our business.

In April 2011 we entered into an agreement with Wildernest Logistics Solutions, Inc. to provide fulfillment and manufacturing services from a facility based in Mexico, Missouri. We expect to transition the entirety of our fulfillment and seed kit manufacturing operations to this facility in May 2011. We cannot predict with certainty whether this change will result in improved and more efficient and cost-effective operations. Any material disruption to the operation of this facility, whether caused by internal or external factors could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

Table of Contents

We rely on third party providers in our manufacturing, warehouse, distribution, order processing, and fulfillment operations. If these parties are unwilling to continue providing services to us, or are unable to adequately perform such services for us on a cost effective basis, our business could be materially harmed.

We engage third parties to perform many critical functions supporting our business operations. Any disruption in our relationship with any of our vendors could cause significant disruption to our business and we may not be able to locate another party that can provide comparable services in a timely manner or on acceptable commercial terms. In addition, no assurance can be made that these relationships will be adequate to support our business as we follow our business plan.

Our intellectual property and proprietary rights give us only limited protection, and can be expensive to defend.

Our ability to produce and sell indoor garden systems exclusively depends in part on securing patent protection for the components of our systems, maintaining various trademarks, and protecting our operational trade secrets. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of patents pending (and if granted, patents), trade secrets, and non-disclosure agreements, each of which affords only limited protection. We own the rights to 16 United States and international patent applications. However, these patent applications may not result in issued patents and even issued patents may be challenged. We are selling our indoor garden systems prior to receiving issued patents relating to our patent applications. All of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented. Claims for infringement may be asserted or prosecuted against us in the future and we may not be able to protect our patents, if any are obtained, and intellectual property rights against others. Our former employees or consultants may violate their non-disclosure agreements, leading to a loss of proprietary intellectual property. We could also incur substantial costs to assert our intellectual property or proprietary rights against others.

We may face significant competition, and if we are unable to compete effectively, our sales may be adversely affected.

We believe that our complete indoor garden systems offer significant benefits over traditional hydroponic industry products. There are companies in a variety of related markets including but not limited to, consumer electronics, commercial hydroponics, gardening wholesale, and soil-based gardening that are larger, better funded, have more recognizable brand names, and have experience in our channels of distribution. These companies could potentially decide to develop products to compete with our products. These companies could use hydroponic technologies, and could achieve better consumer acceptance. The success of any competing products may adversely impact us.

Increases in energy prices, resulting from general economic conditions, or other factors, may raise our cost of goods sold and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Energy costs, especially gasoline and fuel costs, are significant expenses in the delivery of our products. Increased costs resulting from general economic conditions, acts of nature, or other factors, may result in declining margins and operating results if market conditions prevent us from passing these increased costs on to our customers through timely price increases on our products.

Table of Contents

Our current or future manufacturers are located in China and therefore our product costs may be subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the Chinese currency.

Although we purchase our AeroGarden products in U.S. dollars, the prices charged by our factories are predicated upon their cost for components, labor and overhead. Therefore, changes in the valuation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chinese currency may cause our manufacturers to raise prices of our products which could reduce our profit margins.

If our indoor garden systems fail to perform properly, our business could suffer with increased costs and reduced income.

We have sold over 1,000,000 AeroGardens since our inception and have provided a limited warranty with each garden sold. In addition, our indoor garden systems are “guaranteed to grow.” We therefore may be required to replace or repair products or refund the purchase price to consumers. Failure of our products to meet expectations could damage our reputation, decrease sales, increase costs related to returns and repairs, delay market acceptance of our products, result in unpaid accounts receivable, and divert our resources to remedy the malfunctions. The occurrence of any of these events would have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

From time to time, we may be subject to litigation that, if decided adversely to us, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition.

From time to time, we are a party to various litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to our business. We cannot estimate with certainty our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to any such pending litigation matters. However, we believe, based on our examination of such matters, that our ultimate liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Risks Related to the Market for our Securities

The market price of our shares may fluctuate greatly. Investors in AeroGrow bear the risk that they will not recover their investment.

Effective as of May 4, 2009 our common stock ceased to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market and is now traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Currently, trading in our common stock is limited, and the price per share is likely to be influenced by the price at which and the amount of shares the selling security holders are attempting to sell at any time. This could have the effect of limiting the trading price or lowering the market price to the selling security holders’ offering prices. Common stock such as ours is also subject to the activities of persons engaged in short selling securities, which generally has the effect of driving the price down. Also, the common stock of emerging growth companies is typically subject to high price and volume volatility. Therefore, the price of our common stock has fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, widely. A full and stable trading market for our common stock may never develop and, as a result, stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at the time they elect, if at all.

There may be substantial sales of our common stock by existing security holders which could cause the price of our stock to fall.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could impair the value of an investment in our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Table of Contents

Sales of our common stock by security holders, or even the appearance that such holders may make such sales, may limit the market for our common stock or depress any trading market volume and price before other investors are able to sell the common stock. Moreover, a number of shareholders have held their investment for a substantial period of time and may desire to sell their shares, which could drive down the price of our common stock.

We can issue debt securities and shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the rights of common stockholders.

Our Articles of Incorporation allow our Board of Directors to approve the terms and conditions of debt securities and preferred stock for issuance by the Company, including but not limited to voting rights, conversion privileges and liquidation preferences, without the approval of common stockholders. The rights of the holders of our common stock may be adversely impacted as a result of the rights that could potentially be granted to holders of debt securities or preferred stock that we may issue in the future. In addition, there could be an impact on the price of our common stock because of the potential impact on the rights of common shareholders resulting from future issuances of debt or preferred stock.

Our outstanding convertible notes, warrants, options and additional future obligations to issue our securities to various parties, may dilute the value of an investment in AeroGrow and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

As of March 31, 2011, we have reserved for issuance up to approximately 246 million additional shares of common stock under the terms of outstanding convertible notes, warrants, options, conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred and other arrangements.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 we issued an aggregate of 7,586 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock that now give the holders the right to convert their preferred shares into a total of 43,822,253 common shares of AeroGrow. The preferred shareholders also received 4,164 warrants to purchase additional preferred shares that now can be exercised to purchase 24,911,126 shares of AeroGrow common stock. During 2010 we issued $7.02 million in 8% Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes that now give the holders the right to convert their notes and accrued interest into 69,259,920 common shares of AeroGrow. The note holders also received 70,200,000 warrants to purchase common shares of AeroGrow.

As part of the actions necessary to proceed with the transactions anticipated by the Shareholder Action, we have agreed to adjust the terms of the 8% Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes and warrants which, in turn will trigger an anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred shares. Giving effect to the adjustments to the conversion and exercise prices, there will be an aggregate of approximately 94 million shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred which is outstanding and the underlying warrants, and approximately 223 million shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the conversion of the 8% Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes and the underlying warrants.

For the length of time the convertible notes, warrants, options and preferred shares are outstanding, the holders will have an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock without assuming all the risks of common share ownership. This may adversely affect the terms upon which we can obtain additional capital. The holders of such derivative securities would likely exercise or convert them at a time when we would be able to obtain equity capital on terms more favorable than the exercise or conversion prices provided by the notes, warrants or options.

Table of Contents

Further, future sales of substantial amounts of these shares, or the perception that such sales might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could impair the value of an investment in our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we issued an aggregate of $6,684,536 Series A Convertible Preferred securities. The terms and conditions of these securities could significantly impact the price of our common shares, and could adversely impact our ability to raise additional equity capital.

The holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred shares (the “Preferred Shareholders”) currently have the right to convert their shares and exercise warrants to purchase 68,733,379 common shares of AeroGrow, which will be adjusted to 94,014,317 shares as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion price. In addition, the Preferred Shareholders have the right to vote their shares on an as-converted basis on all matters voted on by common shareholders. The Preferred Shareholders also have the right to elect three Directors of AeroGrow, voting as a separate class. As a result of these rights, the Preferred Shareholders have effective control over AeroGrow and its governance. In addition, the Preferred Shareholders possess certain rights that give them preferences relative to common shareholders in the event of a sale or liquidation of the Company (which the Preferred Shareholders have waived with regard to the AG Worldwide Transaction). It is possible that the Preferred Shareholders could take actions that could adversely impact the value of investments in common shares of the Company. In addition, the control position of the Preferred Shareholders, as well as other anti-dilution rights held by the Preferred Shareholders, could adversely impact our ability to raise capital in the future.

If an exemption from registration on which we have relied for any of our past offerings of common stock or warrants are challenged legally, our principals may have to spend time defending claims, and we would then risk paying expenses for defense, rescission, and/or regulatory sanctions.

To raise working capital, we offered common stock and warrants in private transactions that we believed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws. In 2004 we conducted a state-registered offering in Colorado of common stock and warrants, intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act as an intrastate offering. However, because we are incorporated in Nevada, the offering did not satisfy all of the requirements for an intrastate offering. This could result in investors or regulators asserting that the Colorado offering and/or private offerings subsequent to the Colorado offering (if the private offerings were integrated with the Colorado offering) violated the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that investors or regulators will not be successful in asserting a claim that these transactions should not be integrated. In the event that one or more investors seeks rescission, with resulting return of investment funds and interest at a market rate, or that state or federal regulators seeks sanctions against us or our principals, we would spend time and financial resources to pay expenses for defense, rescission awards, or regulatory sanctions. The use of funds would reduce the capital available to operate our business. No assurance can be given regarding the outcome of any such actions.

Risks Relating to Servicing Debt

Our ability to generate cash is unproven, and we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our debt.

Our ability to pay interest on our obligations, or to pay or refinance our obligations will depend upon the future operating performance of AG Worldwide, which is unproven.

We cannot assure you that AG Worldwide will generate sufficient cash flows from operations, that currently anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements will be realized, or that future borrowings will be available to it in amounts sufficient to enable it to pay its debt or to fund its other liquidity needs. If AG Worldwide is unable to meet its debt service obligations or fund its other liquidity needs, it may be required to:

·	reduce or delay capital expenditures;

·	limit its growth;

·	seek additional debt financing or equity capital;

·	forego opportunities;

·	restructure or refinance its debt; or

·	cease operations.

Any of these outcomes could materially impact the amount of cash available for distributions to AeroGrow and could materially impact our ability to service our debt and other obligations.

If we default under our secured debt, it is likely that the lenders will foreclose against our assets, which would result in our ceasing to be a going concern.

First Western Trust Bank has a lien against our assets securing their loan, with approximately $815,000 outstanding on the loan as of March 31, 2011. We are also obligated to repay the outstanding 8% Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount currently outstanding of $6.796 million, which are secured by a lien against our assets. First Western Trust Bank and the holders of our 8% Notes will be secured by our assets on a pari passu basis under the terms of an Intercreditor Agreement we will complete as a condition to consummating the sale of assets to AG Worldwide. In the event of our default under our secured loans, the lenders would likely foreclose against the assets. In such an event, it is unlikely that the Company would continue as a going concern, and there would be a material adverse impact on our ability to repay our debt and other obligations.

Future issuances of our common or preferred stock could dilute current shareholders and adversely affect the market if it develops.

We have the authority to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common and preferred stock, without shareholder approval. These future issuances could be at values substantially below the price paid for our common stock by prior investors in AeroGrow, which would result in significant dilution to those prior investors. In addition, we could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further shareholder approval, which could also depress the market value of our common stock.

Table of Contents

We may issue preferred stock that would have rights that are preferential to the rights of the common stock that could discourage potentially beneficial transactions to our common stockholders.

An issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over our common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our Board of Directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve. The issuance of preferred stock could impair the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of common stockholders without their approval.

We are listed on the OTC electronic bulletin board, and are subject to the “penny stock” rules.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, a NASD sponsored and operated quotation system for equity securities. It is a more limited trading market than the Nasdaq Capital Market, and timely, accurate quotations of the price of our Common Stock may not always be available. You may expect trading volume to be low in such a market. Consequently, the activity of only a few shares may affect the market and may result in wide swings in price and in volume.

Our Common Stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g.9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our Common Stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on Nasdaq that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with additional information including current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account, and to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the Subscriber and receive the Subscriber’s written agreement to the transaction. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Over-the-counter stocks are subject to risks of high volatility and price fluctuation.

We are not eligible to have our shares listed on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result, the trading market for our common stock is on the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC market for securities has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in our Company's industry and the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for investors in this offering to sell their shares.

Table of Contents

Trading in our securities is conducted on an electronic bulletin board established for securities that do not meet NASDAQ listing requirements. As a result, investors will find it substantially more difficult to dispose of our securities. Investors may also find it difficult to obtain accurate information and quotations as to the price of our common stock.

Our stock price may be volatile and as a result, investors could lose all or part of their investment. The value of an investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:

·	failure to meet sales and marketing goals or operating budget

·	decline in demand for our common stock

·	operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter

·	downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions

·	investor perception of our Company's industry or prospects

·	general economic trends

In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to resell their shares at or above the offering price.

Outstanding shares that are eligible for future sale could adversely impact a public trading market for our common stock.

Of the 19,244,160 shares of common stock currently outstanding, 6,666,933 shares are "restricted securities" as defined by Rule 144 ("Rule 144") under the Securities Act and cannot be resold without registration except in reliance on Rule 144 or another applicable exemption from registration. In addition, a total of 342,190,514 shares (assuming the adjustments and partial waivers with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred and 8% Subordinated Secured Convertible) may be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible securities. In general, under Rule 144 a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including any affiliate of ours, who beneficially owns restricted shares for a period of at least six months is entitled to sell shares provided the Company complies with its SEC reporting requirements. In addition, any person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated) who is not, at the time of sale, nor during the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company, and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least one year, can sell such shares without limitation. An affiliate, or a person who has been an affiliate of the Company within 90 days of the date of sale, must comply with the same holding periods stated above and must also comply with the notice, manner of sale, public information or the volume limitations described in Rule 144. Those volume limitations restrict sales by affiliates within any three month period to shares equal in number to the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock or (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the same class of shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice of sale with the Commission. The seller must also comply with the notice and manner of sale requirements of Rule 144, and there must be current public information available about the Company. Approximately 2,765,433 shares of common stock are eligible for resale under Rule 144 provided other requirements of Rule 144 are met.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of restricted shares of common stock, or the availability of such common stock for sale, will have on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of such common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the then prevailing market price of the common stock.

Table of Contents

We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

We have never paid any cash dividends on any shares of our capital stock, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current business plan is to retain any future earnings. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will be dependent upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. If we do not pay cash dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

If the Company were to dissolve or wind-up, holders of our common stock may not receive a liquidation distribution.

If we were to wind-up or dissolve the Company and liquidate and distribute our assets, our shareholders would share ratably in our assets only after we satisfy any amounts we would owe to our creditors. If our liquidation or dissolution were attributable to our inability to profitably operate our business, then it is likely that we would have material liabilities at the time of liquidation or dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot give you any assurance that sufficient assets will remain available after the payment of our creditors to enable you to receive any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares you may hold.

Changes in the corporate and securities laws and regulations may increase our costs.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which became law in July 2002, has required changes in some of our corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices. In response to the requirements of SOX, the SEC and major stock exchanges have promulgated new rules and listing standards covering a variety of subjects. Compliance with these new rules and listing standards have increased our general and administrative costs, and we expect these to continue to increase in the future. In particular, we are required to include the management report in our annual reports pursuant to Section 404 of SOX. We are engaged in an ongoing process of evaluating our internal control systems in order (i) to allow management to report on, as required by these laws, rules and regulations, (ii) to provide reasonable assurance that our public disclosure will be accurate and complete, and (iii) to comply with the other provisions of Section 404 of SOX. There is no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are not able to implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other provisions of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance with these requirements or other requirements of SOX, we might become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or FINRA. Any such action may materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of our securities, including our common stock. We expect that SOX and these other laws, rules and regulations will continue to increase legal and financial compliance costs and will make our corporate governance activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these requirements will make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide financial reports or prevent fraud, our business reputation and operating results could be harmed. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Distributor and License Agreement

Table of Contents

Background of the Joint Venture Transaction

In early 2010 we changed our corporate strategy to emphasize direct-to-consumer sales and reduce our reliance on sales to retailers. This decision reflected a number of factors including the increased ability to communicate the features and benefits of our products directly to consumers, and the higher margins available in direct-to-consumer channels. As we executed this shift in strategy we recognized that our traditional direct response marketing efforts would require significant capital in order to for us to increase the scale of our business to the level necessary to deliver consistent profitability and ensure our financial viability. In addition, we recognized that without dramatically expanding the scope and nature of our media and advertising, we would not be able to effectively expand our presence in what we believe to be a large target market of consumers.

As a result, our board of directors instructed management to simultaneously pursue additional sources of funding to enable us to increase the scale of our business and to identify other ways to expand the availability of our products outside our existing channels of distribution.

Over the course of several months we had discussions with a number of potential investors, financial intermediaries, and lenders in an attempt to raise new capital for our operations. These discussions were not successful. The investors, financial intermediaries, and lenders informed us that our historical financial performance and existing capital structure suggested that raising new capital would be very problematic.

Simultaneously, we also had discussions with a number of individuals with expertise in the MLM industry who expressed interest in forming an alliance with us to pursue the sales of AeroGrow products through an MLM distributor network, and who expressed interest in helping to raise the funding necessary to pursue an MLM sales strategy.

As part of these discussions we met Jack Peterson, who would subsequently become a principal of Cyrano Partners, LLC (“Cyrano”), in June 2010. Subsequent to the initial introductory meeting, AeroGrow, principally represented by J. Michael Wolfe, COO, and H. MacGregor Clarke, CFO pursued a variety of potential business options, principally with Mr. Peterson, over the course of the following nine months.

Meetings between the parties were held in July 2010 in Denver, Colorado and in Salt Lake City, Utah to discuss the potential terms of an alliance. Proposals were exchanged, but no agreements were reached as to terms that would be acceptable to the parties. In addition, discussions with representatives of potential investors suggested that finding investors to provide the capital for the MLM initiative within AeroGrow would be problematic given the context of the existing capital structure and financial performance of AeroGrow.

In August and September 2010 the parties resumed discussions during meetings held in Boulder, Colorado and in Salt Lake City with the intent of resolving the issues identified in the earlier discussions. Various potential business structures were discussed including AeroGrow forming a new subsidiary to pursue the MLM opportunity, AeroGrow licensing its intellectual property to a new joint venture to be formed by the parties, AeroGrow licensing its intellectual property to one of several existing MLM companies, and AeroGrow being a supplier to a newly formed independent entity.

Further discussions regarding these potential business structures were held in the fourth calendar quarter of 2010 in Boulder, Denver and Salt Lake City and the parties exchanged draft term sheets detailing the various options. During this time Cyrano was formed by Mr. Peterson, Steve Campbell and Melyn Campbell. Meetings were held by the parties with a private equity firm with portfolio interests in the MLM industry, and with a large existing MLM company (the “Existing MLM”) regarding that company’s interest in potentially acquiring AeroGrow, or forming a joint venture with AeroGrow. In all of the business structures, issues surrounding valuation, capital needs, investor risk mitigation, channel conflict and competition, and relative economics could not be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.

Table of Contents

In the first calendar quarter of 2011, the focus of discussions between the parties narrowed to forming a business alliance with the Existing MLM or pursuing a joint venture between the parties that would raise funds and operate an MLM business independently of AeroGrow. Numerous discussions were held with the Existing MLM in Utah; however, the Existing MLM proved unwilling to invest sufficient capital to support the business concept, preferring instead to provide nominal funding in return for future option rights to acquire the AeroGrow MLM once success was assured. At that point, talks with the Existing MLM were discontinued and the parties focused discussions on developing the joint venture approach.

In March 2011 the parties met in Boulder to finalize negotiations regarding the terms and conditions relating to a joint venture with the result being a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) describing the joint venture transaction anticipated by the Shareholder Action. The AeroGrow Board of Directors met on March 11, 2011 to review the status of the discussions with Cyrano, and authorized management to execute the Term Sheet. The parties executed the Term Sheet on March 15, 2011.

The parties met in Boulder during the period March 31 through April 2, 2011, and negotiated definitive agreements relating to the joint venture transaction. AeroGrow’s Board of Directors was provided with a detailed summary of the proposed transaction, as well as with the definitive agreements that had been negotiated by the parties.

On April 9, 2011, the AeroGrow Board of Directors met to review the proposed transaction and adopted a resolution approving, in principle, the proposed transaction subject to numerous conditions, including shareholder approval, creditor approval and final approval of the terms of the Capital Raise for AG Worldwide.

Reasons for the Joint Venture

Our board of directors considered a number of factors that led it to accept the sale, including but not limited to:

	-	our prospective investors were concerned about our viability and these concerns were impairing our ability to raise the funds necessary to support our operations;

	-	Our ability to attract new customers was dependent on our ability to raise new capital; and

	-	our analysis of our growth prospects, limited access to new capital, and significant level of secured and unsecured debt led the board of directors to conclude that the opportunity for stock capital appreciation was limited in our present structure. The board believes that by selling the assets and entering into a joint venture transaction with another business that has expertise in MLM, it will be possible to create a greater likelihood of share price appreciation for our stockholders.

Table of Contents

Countervailing Considerations

Our board of directors identified and considered a number of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the asset sale, including, but not limited to:

	-	the risk that AG Worldwide may be unsuccessful in integrating our products into an MLM distribution network;

	-	the risk that the initial Capital Raise will provide insufficient working capital and AG Worldwide will subsequently be unable to raise sufficient working capital to satisfy its operating requirements, in view of the fact that it has no operating history;

	-	the risk that the potential benefits sought in the joint venture, including the receipt of payments to permit AeroGrow to service its debt, might not be realized fully, or within the time frame contemplated, if at all;

	-	the possibility that the joint venture would not be completed and the effect of the abandonment of the joint venture on our ability to continue as a going concern; and

	-	the charges to be incurred, primarily in the quarter in which the asset sale is completed, including transaction expenses arising from the asset sale.

No Opinion of Financial Advisor - Fairness of the Asset Sale

We have not approached or engaged any financial advisor to render a fairness opinion, from a financial point of view, with respect to the proposed joint venture.

The decision not to engage a financial advisor was made in light of our financial constraints and lack of working capital. We felt that we could not afford the costs that would be incurred in connection with engaging such a financial advisor.

Nevertheless, the Transaction Documents have been unanimously approved by the board of directors of AeroGrow and by the board of managers of Cyrano, including persons who would be considered disinterested members of the AeroGrow Board. AeroGrow's board of directors consists of five members, only one of whom would be considered disinterested (Michael D. Dingman, Jr.).

Early Efforts to Market AeroGrow were Unsuccessful

As early as 2009, AeroGrow and its officers conducted efforts to either sell the company to a third party or to attract large strategic investments into the Company. The results of these discussions and efforts, however, were unsuccessful, in some cases because no interest was generated by the other party at a price or on terms deemed reasonable by the board.

Table of Contents

Fairness Analysis

Overview

The board of directors' goal was to establish that the proposed transaction was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of AeroGrow. In order to do that it was necessary to establish that the fair value of the cash being tendered by AG Worldwide was at least as high as the fair value of the assets being sold by AeroGrow.

In assessing the fairness of the proposed transaction, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of AeroGrow, the board of directors considered a number of factors:

·	our results of operations and financial position;

·	our trading history;

·	market capitalizations achieved by public small companies;

·	market capitalizations achieved by larger public companies that operate in our sector;

·	due diligence performed on Cyrano by AeroGrow's officers; and

·	certain operational factors relevant to an evaluation of our current and future operations.

The board relied primarily on its knowledge of the Company's operations and the market capitalizations of public companies in reaching its conclusion. The board did not assign any relative weight to any of the foregoing factors, but determined that all of them were material to their consideration of the fairness of the joint venture.

AeroGrow Results of Operations and Financial Position

AeroGrow's results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were net losses of $6,331,205, $10,313,514 and $9,835,921, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, a net loss of $5,298,365.

AeroGrow Stock Trading History

We began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) on June 9, 2009, ticker symbol AERO, and have also been trading on the Pink Sheets Electronic OTC Market since May 4, 2009. We traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market from June 13, 2007, to May 1, 2009, after trading on the OTCBB from January 8, 2007 to June 12, 2007 under the ticker symbol AGWI. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our high and low reported prices were $3.75 and $0.08; during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 our high and low reported prices were $0.24 and $0.07, and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our high and low reported prices were $0.19 and $0.03. With approximately 19.2 million shares of common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into an additional 43.8 million shares issued and outstanding, our market capitalization is approximately $3.2 million.

Historical Transactions Analysis

The board did not identify any historical transactions that were directly comparable to the proposed joint venture.

Conclusion

After assessing the Company's operations and the stock market, our board of directors concluded that there was little likelihood of capital appreciation for AeroGrow stockholders in the next 24 months and that there was a material risk that the market capitalization of the company could decline.

The consideration to AeroGrow from AG Worldwide is significantly greater than the market capitalization of the Company.

Based on its evaluation of our operations and stock price, the board concluded that the proposed transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of AeroGrow.

Procedural Safeguards

The board of directors of AeroGrow believes that sufficient procedural safeguards are present to insure the fairness of the asset sale. The belief is based upon the following factors:

	Approval of Securityholders

	Approval of the Transaction Documents requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of AeroGrow.

	Approval of Directors

	The Transaction Documents were unanimously approved by the directors of AeroGrow, including the disinterested member of the board. Approval of Secured Creditors The Transaction Documents will require the approval of our secured creditors, including First Western Trust Bank, a Majority in Interest of our 8% Convertible Noteholders and a Majority in Interest of our 15% Convertible Noteholders.

	Unaffiliated Representatives

	The board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated securityholders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Transaction Documents. However, the board believes that the terms of the transaction are fair to the unaffiliated shareholders for the reasons previously stated.

Use of Proceeds of the Joint Venture

We estimate that payments from AG Worldwide to AeroGrow, including payments under the $5.0 million note, payment of the $1.0 million preferred distribution and future distributions of net cash flow will be allocated to repay the Company’s secured and unsecured debt and to pay administrative expenses of the Company.

Table of Contents

Risk Factors

The proposed asset sale poses a high degree of risk for our shareholders.

The Joint Venture may not be completed even though it is approved by our shareholders and directors.

The completion of the asset sale is subject to numerous conditions. There can be no assurances that the conditions to closing will be met and that the asset sale will be completed. If the asset sale is not completed, we will have spent a substantial amount of time and financial resources in connection with the transaction without realizing any gain.

If the joint venture is completed, we will have no proven source of continuing revenue.

If the asset sale is completed, we will transfer to AG Worldwide all of our currently productive assets. As AG Worldwide has no history of operations, we cannot predict if we will receive the consideration we bargained for.

There is no plan to distribute any of the proceeds of the asset sale to our stockholders.

We do not intend to distribute any portion of the proceeds from AG Worldwide to our shareholders. Our intention is to use the net proceeds of the asset sale to retire our debt. There is no assurance our shareholders will receive any direct benefit from the transaction.

If the joint venture is completed, we will be dependent on a very small number of management personnel.

After the joint venture is completed, we will only have a skeletal staff to deal with our administrative obligations as a debtor and reporting company.

If we are classified as an investment company, we could be subject to restrictive and costly regulation.

If the asset sale is completed, our joint venture interest in AG Worldwide will represent a significant portion of our assets. Because of our substantial investment in AG Worldwide, it is possible that we could be classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations promulgated under the act are extremely restrictive. Compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940 would be very costly, and it would be difficult for us to execute our business plan. We do not believe that we will be an "investment company" after the asset sale, and we intend to conduct our activities so as to avoid being classified as such.

1.2 Purchase of AeroGarden and Associated AeroGarden Items For Resale. As a distributor of AII, AG Worldwide shall have the right to purchase from, or through, AII the AeroGarden and the Associated AeroGarden Items for resale upon the terms set forth herein. If AG Worldwide places an order with AII, then AII shall fill such order from AII’s stock on hand. If such order reasonably necessitates, in the reasonable discretion of both AII and AG Worldwide, the order of additional AeroGarden and Associated AeroGarden Items, then AII shall (a) place such an order on behalf of AG Worldwide by and with AII’s qualified suppliers, (b) purchase such required items on behalf of AG Worldwide, either on consignment or pursuant to any other recognized and acceptable agency arrangement, or (c) make any other arrangement necessary to permit AG Worldwide to directly acquire ownership in the additional required inventory.
